Savemart New Lynn: a big rummage near LynnMall, with a pricing catch

A short walk from LynnMall, this Savemart on Veronica Street is a sizeable secondhand clothing warehouse where women's clothing is organised by colour and there's enough stock to lose an afternoon in.

Reviews are genuinely mixed. Fans say they always find something and happily browse for hours, walking out with full bags. Critics — and there are a fair few — say some secondhand items are priced close to or above what you'd pay new, and a handful mention frustrating experiences at the till when disputing prices. Kids' and toddler clothing selection is also flagged as thinner than the adult range.

Savemart is a commercial secondhand retailer rather than a charity, though the wider chain supports causes like the Child Cancer Foundation.

Worth combining with a LynnMall trip, and worth going in with an idea of new-clothing prices so you can judge the bargains for yourself.
